You've just stated the problem. We can't make a fair assessment from him getting 3 carries a game.

He's never really had excellent vision though going back to his days at VT. I'll say this much to be fair and that is I've seen him do a good job on not dancing in the backfield too much compared to how much he did it back in college since he could get away with it against those defenses.

He looked really good in the preseason when he was featured. I encourage people to go and watch those games.

We have to let the guy get into a rhythm. Right now he's averaging 2 carries a game. Plus the defense knows he's getting the ball basically every time.

He did have a nice game against the Bears in the preseason but I haven't really been too impressed with him outside of that. There has been a few carries where he has run into the back of our own linemen and that is an issue of vision.

We do need to utilize him more on PA passes though since when we did it once against the Redskins, the safeties bit on the run. Unfortunately, we weren't able to connect on the pass.

You're going to have to do better than that unless it's just your opinion.

Ok, out of curiosity I went through and looked at the rookie season of every running back drafted in the first round since 2004.
Excluding the players who suffered injury-shortened seasons, David Wilson is currently on pace to be the most under-utilised 1st-round running back drafted through that period.

again. The point is, that you don't use first round picks on running backs that aren't ready to play offense their rookie year. a first round pick on a rb that contributes on 6 plays a game is terrible value.

OK

you should be less impressed with the coaching staffs use of wilson,,they are not playing to his strengths,,,,we need to use him like Philly uses shady,,,screen passes and more misdirection,,let him use his speed and elusiveness in the open field..this kid is not a hand it off up the middle guy, plain and simple. plus 4 carries? I dont care who is evaluating him, you can not evaluate on such a microscopic body of work. this kid will be tiki barber 2.0 when it is all said and done..I can feel it.

not the kids fault the coaching staff just does not play rookies like that,,never have. you guys need to relax,,if we were 9-3 nobody would even be talking about him like this,,it's just one more than to b*tch about. the entire team should be ashamed.
